Well, many of you may know (but probably don't care) that I have been working on a project to truely demonstrate the true potential of this kick-ass class. I managed to get up to the second job into an Excel spread sheet that can show how well the Aran race does.
This, er, "calculator" shows how well the attacks can combo together, but is not entirely accurate since I have not learned entirely how long the attacks take (for this I would like to ask someone to divulge).
To this end, here is the calculator. Use it wisely...Aran Calculator V0.1
Constructive critisizm would be welcome, since I still need to tidy it up.
P.S. The combo check box adds together all of the skills that can combo together, and the Critical Count is how many times the critical buff stacks.
Well, I wonder if the time in milliseconds of casting time for each attack is in the data like WoW. If so, maybe Fiel or Isaac can find it for you. Don't forget booster and SI, as it will change speed.
Also, if the Aran is solo, or has no priest/cure-alls, then getting sealed might prevent more than just his normal attack. Also, when training, there's things like climbing, etc, to take into consideration that would reset the combo. All dps and damage hangs around the combo system. Another question is if dispel takes the count back to 0.
I also don't need a calculator to tell you that flying monsters/bosses like fly eye and geist will be like the bane of this class.

Good to know.
